FIRST, find the ripest avocados you can - they should be soft when squeezed gently, with dark-green skin. Avoid brown avocados, they will only amplify THC levels in the blood.
SECOND, cut each avocado in half, working around the large, smooth pit. Separate the avocado halves and remove and swallow the pit. (This is key to clearing your system)

What are the antinutritional factors of avocado pear seed?
It can (may or may not) contain these as well:
Saponins, though I was unable to determine if it is medicagenic acid, which appears to be the main saponin that is an anti-nutrient. Human's rarely suffer any severe toxic effects from saponins. They put them in some medications.
Flavenoids, which are antibacterial and have been shown in studies to reduce inflammation, to reduce occurrence of two types of cancer and to have antioxidant effects. There is a list of positive effects on the fetus when taken during pregnancy, including prevention of allergies, but also a list of possible negative effects. The studies have been too few to be conclusive. The most research has been done on cardiovascular disease with a long list of positive effects. 36 Trials have been done or are now in progress. Research is very encouraging.
Alkaloids can be present in varying amounts.
Cyanogenic glycosides, which are in a lot of nuts, seeds and legumes. These cyanogenics are considered "the best phytochemical." They are toxic in high doses, so they must be taken in proper ratios. The seed inside the fruit you are eating is safe for humans. Taking seeds from a bunch of fruit and eating them all at once is not safe.
What is the color of the inside of an avocado seed?
The color inside an avocado seed is pretty much the same as it is on the outside. It varies a bit depending on what "stage" the seed is in. Let's look at the "endpoints" and then you may be able to see how it changes. As the seed develops, it changes from white to the yellowish orange color you see when the seed actually sprouts. So whatever color range leads from white to yellow-orange is what happens here. Wikipedia has a good pic of a sprouted seed, and the plant reaching up is rooted in a yellow seed that has split in half. Need a link? Hey, this is WikiAnswers. We got your links below. The first one is to the pic, and the second is to the Wikipedia article on the avocado.
